More Quote of the Day Honorable Mention, Part 95

*
Special "Damn the mosque-itos, full speed ahead!" Edition...

Ghettoputer at The Gormogons:
"'Puter agrees with Sarah Palin here, where she states that not everything that is legal is a good idea. That is, sure you can build the mosque there, but doing so is an immature publicity stunt designed solely to antagonize those who are more than willing to show tolerance. Tolerance is a two way street, bub."
David Vance at A Tangled Web:
"Palin Leads, Obama Follows..."
bc3b at Be John Galt:
"After Team Obama forced Palin from office, they discovered what a tenacious foe she could be. Since resigning as governor, Sarah Palin has been a constant thorn in Obama’s side, constantly baiting the President into saying stupid things and doing even dumber things. She was one of the people who brought attention to the Ground Zero mosque through her tweets and Facebook."
Peter Daou via Twitter:
"Is it me or is @SarahPalinUSA now considered the President in Exile?"
Manny at J's Cafe Nette:
"So Obama is all over the place and drowning in the controversy. Through all this Sarah Palin has been magnificent. Recall that it was Ms. Palin who made the issue national with her Twitter comment to Muslims to not build the mosque on sacred ground... In politics, Sarah can throw fastballs like Nolan Ryan. Obama is standing at the plate watching them go by."
Penraker:
"Say what you will about Palin, but she grasps the situation far better than Obama."
Kyle Wingfield at The AJC:
"Sarah Palin has drawn fire for her opposition to the mosque, but from the beginning her statements were not about rights or legalities... So, why did the president on Friday speak as if constitutional rights were the real subject of the debate? ... But it sounds to me more like another instance of Obama trying to refute an argument that isn’t being made. He employed a straw man without even pointing to the straw man..."
cutelildrow at Live Journal:
"She has bigger stones than Obama, that's for sure."
Blithe Spirit:
"Obama the orator has become the TelePrompter-in-Chief, though some still cling to his reputation as orator. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is a speaker who can manage with reminders that fit on her hand... In other words she does the leadership thing in what she says, which, come presidential choice time in a year or so, will matter for her and us more than ever."
Bob Franken at The Hill's Pundits Blog:
"And of course we heard from the REAL Republican leader, Sarah Palin."
DaTechguy:
"A clear, lucid statement from one of the leading contenders if not THE leading contender for the Republican Nomination in 2012. A person who was on a National Ticket just 2 years ago. Normally Sarah Palin means views and hits so naturally they would be injecting her whenever possible… but this statement would win votes, so we can’t have that. Instead they are going after Newt Gingrich... Let’s cut to the chase. Newt Gingrich is no more going to be the Republican nominee in 2012 that I am. These people know this, but pretend otherwise."
Mark Halperin on MSNBC, via The Daily Caller:
"Palin is correct in this case, this is not above his pay grade."
The Editor at Family Security Matters:
"On Saturday Sarah Palin, who had previously condemned the choice of location for the 'Park51 Mosque' used her Facebook page to ask some direct questions of the president... Less than 24 hours after the message first went online, 16,900 people confirmed that they 'liked' the statement."
John Salmon at Rene's Apple:
"I'm not a big fan of Sarah Palin. But she's unquestionably correct on the mosque issue."
Greg Pollowitz at NRO's Media Blog:
"Keith Olbermann is angry at Sarah Palin’s new name for the Ground Zero mosque, n.k.a. the 9/11 mosque... I wonder, by what definition could we call this the '9/11 mosque?' Maybe if the organizers of the project chose this site specifically because it was damaged during 9/11? Would that count? ... Sounds like a 9/11 mosque to me."
